<p>Before his proposed bout with Anthony Joshua, Ngannou, who gained international recognition as a UFC fighter, made his heavyweight boxing debut against British fighter, Tyson Fury last year.</p>
<p>To the dismay of many boxing enthusiasts, <a href="https://www.naijanews.com/2023/10/29/tyson-fury-admits-fight-with-francis-ngannou-was-one-of-his-toughest/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ngannou punched Fury down</a> in the 5th round but the British boxer was able to bounce back to win the bout via a split decision.</p>
<p>After the bout, Ngannou gained extraordinary attention in the world of boxing, which landed him a bout with a two-time heavyweight world champion, Anthony Joshua.</p>
<p>Ahead of the bout, which is two weeks away, Anthony Joshua and Francis Ngannou attended the DAZN face-off in which the Cameroonian boxer made it clear that AJ wouldn't be able to recover from the punch that landed Fury to the ground.</p>
<p>Though that was the seventh time in 16 years that Fury was dropped by an opponent - once by Neven Paikich, Steve Cunningham, and four times by Deontay Wilder - Ngannou downplayed Joshua's ability to bounce back from the kind of knockdown Fury suffered in his hands.</p>
<p>He said, <em>"Yeah, I doubt that [whether Joshua would get up from the same punch Tyson got]. Tyson showed that he is very resilient, I saw him come back from a knockdown that you wouldn’t believe [against Deontay Wilder].</em></p>
<p><em>“He is probably one of the most resilient people out there and this is not a disrespect to AJ, but I don’t believe that AJ would have taken what Tyson took.”</em></p>
<p>In his quick response, Joshua used the opportunity to mock Fury's high tendency to be knocked down during a boxing bout.</p>
<p><em>“Who hasn’t knocked Tyson down? So many people have knocked Tyson down",</em> Joshua said.</p>

A new consumer protection law passed by the Quebec government is set to shake up tipping practices at restaurants and other establishments that accept tips. </p><p>Bill 72, which was unanimously adopted by the National Assembly on Thursday, is all about safeguarding consumers from "abusive" practices and enhancing transparency in transactions, and part of it focuses on tipping practices in Quebec.</p><p>Starting in May, suggested tip amounts on payment machines will have to be calculated on the total amount before tax, rather than after. Plus, these suggestions must be displayed in a neutral and uniform way. So, no more payment terminals guilt-tripping you into choosing a 20% tip by default with "Amazing!" or "Great service!" labels.</p><p>Quebec's Minister of justice and consumer protection, Simon Jolin-Barrette, emphasized the need for this update in a press release announcing the bill's passing, highlighting how essential it is for families to make informed spending decisions.</p><p>"With the impact of inflation on our budgets, we know how much every dollar counts," Jolin-Barrette said, explaining that the new law is designed to simplify everyday life for Quebecers.</p><p>Beyond changes to tipping, Bill 72 includes several other consumer-friendly measures ranging from clearer grocery pricing to an update on credit regulations to prevent hidden fees. There are also new protections to limit liability for debit card fraud and stricter rules for vehicle leasing and financing practices.</p><p><span></span>The tipping update addresses a common frustration many diners face, with the press release noting that in a recent survey, 62% of Canadians admitted to tipping more than they intended due to the choices displayed on payment terminals.</p><p>These new tipping rules are set to come into effect in May 2025, six months after the law's official sanction.</p><p><em>Love this?
